Hot Events

Valentine’s Day is coming up fast and furious, not that we didn’t know it was coming . . . here are some Hot Events to look into if adventure is on your radar.

We can add Valentine’s Day to the list of biggest commercial holidays of the year – if there is such a list.

The commercialization of this holiday, for me, diminishes the “love potion.”

For those who enjoy celebrating the day there are lots of events going on in every town of every city across the country. Check out your local events listings for something that just might ignite that spark in your favorite Valentine.

I have listed a few events in the Finger Lakes Region of New York State for anyone who might be able to visit if not snowed in.

This time of year brings out the wine and chocolate pairings. Many wineries will be having special tastings in their tasting rooms. Some wineries will be offering special dinners and wine pairings. There are many events from which to choose – I listed just a few.

Seasonal Chef Demo and Wine Pairing—Lunch and Learn

This weekend is the start of Winterfest: Jazz on the Vine. This is always a great event at many of the wineries in Long Island Wine Country.

The event begins this Valentine’s Day Weekend with wine tastings and chocolate pairings at select wineries and live music in their tasting rooms.

This is a fun event for the month and well worth a trip if you are in commuting range. Start your journey at Baiting Hollow Farm Vineyard and enjoy the FREE Chocolate Wine Tasting and music from the Nick Demopoulos Trio beginning at 1:30 – 3:30 p.m.
